Take the iPad, the world's most popular tablet, and hit it with a shrink gun. Shoot down its $499 price tag, too, and that's exactly what officials, experts and analysts believe will be released later this year, likely around October. But Apple needs to nail the price on this.

Guessing the names of next-gen gaming consoles is always fun. Fans really thought the Gamecube would be called the Nintendo 128 (since it followed up the Nintendo 64), and using that same logic, gamers still think Microsoft will name its Xbox 360 sequel the Xbox 720.
